Clauses per utterance with EVAL

Mon Jan 7 17:18:29 UTC 2013

Kevin,

	I had to talk to more informed on this subject people than me before I could answer your question and EVAL definitely counts ratio of tokens per utterances. Just to make sure that I am talking about the same thing that you are, here is sample CHAT file:

which will produce clause/utterances result equal to 1. If EVAL was counting verb types or verb types lemmas, then the result would have been equal to 0.5 or 0.25.

	May I ask what leads you to believe that EVAL counts verb types (not tokens)?

Leonid.

I’d like to calculate the average number of clauses per utterance using verb tokens (not types). Is there a way I can do this? Or maybe a different command is the answer?
